My AXA renewal quote was £530 this year, was £220 last year!!! They said it was due to rising costs. Really????
I got my insurance from RAC for £280 using a price comparison site.

Just renewed mine with quotes from MSE. Last year’s provider put the price up by over £65. I found one for the same price as last year but not quite the same cover, so I had to add on a couple of extras.

I thought that's what I'd sent the link to.

Very, very sorry if it was wrong.

We have our car insurance through Tesco, they've been very reasonable price wise.

I use the comparison site with the meerkats.

I check most policies each year, just to ensure I’m getting value for money,

Car, Home, pet and travel insurance.

I’m with LV too

I have Lv car insurance and the last few years it has gone down by a few pounds, not up. Good luck with finding a good quote as it and difficult comparing like for like as they all seem slightly different.

Apologies, blame not sleeping. Its car insurance I am looking at, its gone up almost 50% since last tear. Tried the one Spaghetti mentioned but worried after as they had all my information but no quotes.

I would start here.
Good luck.

Should have said the insurance is cheaper online.

My car tax isn't free.
It is done online though.

I use a comparison site to whittle down the myriad offers.
It is cheaper to buy online - but I don't use an app.

Tax or insurance?

Are you asking about car tax or car insurance? Car tax is done through the DVLA and is free. Check Martin Lewis’s website for car insurance advice.

Any advice getting good car insurance that is not ultra expensive. It all seems to be on line now with everything done on an app.
